Manchester United suffered more home woes in the Premier League on Saturday, falling to a dismal 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. Erik ten Hag’s side dominated possession but couldn’t find the net as Joachim Andersen’s first-half stunner was enough to seal a memorable Eagles win.<\/p>\n
Express Sport<\/em> takes a look at four talking points from United’s second successive Premier League defeat at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Set piece sadness<\/strong><\/p>\n Andersen’s strike was sensational, firing into the roof of the United net after Eberechi Eze’s out-swinging free-kick travelling through the sea of players in the hosts’ box.<\/p>\n But United’s tendency to concede from set pieces this season is a concern that Ten Hag and his coaches must fix.<\/p>\n Victor Lindelof was the man marking Andersen and was out-manoeuvred by his Danish defensive counterpart.<\/p>\n The Red Devils have now conceded three goals from dead-ball situations in the Premier League this term. Only Sheffield United have conceded more.<\/p>\n READ MORE <\/strong> Man Utd ‘have Rasmus Hojlund concern’ as \u00a372m star assessed with Ronaldo comment[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rashford loses scoring touch<\/strong><\/p>\n Ten Hag pulling Marcus Rashford off the pitch while United were chasing an equaliser tells you all you need to know about how his season is going.<\/p>\n The United No 10 has scored just four goals in 18 Premier League games and has been one of the players culpable for his side’s poor decision-making in the final third.<\/p>\n He consistently looks a threat on the ball but has failed to produce anything of note after a career-best 30-goal season outside of his Arsenal strike.<\/p>\n Rashford’s form is a worry, and United’s early-season struggles are undoubtedly related.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

More info<\/p>\n Mount a positive<\/strong><\/p>\n There weren’t many positives for home side at Old Trafford, but Mount certainly was one.<\/p>\n Mount started his second successive game after returning from injury, this time playing 77 minutes after his impressive 45 in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win.<\/p>\n And he was a bright spark in midfield, recording a 93 per cent pass accuracy and winning 11 of his 16 duels.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old must start again when Galatasaray visit M16 in the Champions League on Tuesday.<\/p>\n DON’T MISS <\/strong> <\/p>\n When it rains in pours<\/strong><\/p>\n United entered the home game against Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this month unbeaten in 31 at Old Trafford in all competitions, stretching all the way back to the start of last season.<\/p>\n Then the Seagulls won 3-1. And now Palace have taken three points back down south, too. United’s home form was the source of his successful first season. Losing that spells bad news.<\/p>\n Roy Hodgson is used to tasting success at Old Trafford and has become the first-ever manager to go five consecutive game unbeaten at the stadium.<\/p>\n In fact, he has won his last three visits. Only Pep Guardiola had achieved that feat before him.<\/p>\n
